17 October 2002, Thursday
President of Tatarstan Mintimer Shaimiev expressed bewilderment concerning the idea of Bashkortostan President Murtaza Rakhimov on abolition of the post of president in the republic.
Suggestions of Murtaza Rakhimov on change of the governance structure in the republic cause more questions than answers, and not only with me, M.Shaimiev told the Interfax on Thursday. In his opinion, the argumentation presented by the Bashkortostan leader "looks rather inconsistent".
"Nevertheless, whatever the motives of such statements were, in this case I can only say it's good that they does not come from the President of Tatarstan", M.Shaimiev said.
